Make Positive Changes

Active Parenting Online Groups are now available!

Dear Parent or Caregiver,

I am excited to let you know that Active Parenting Publishers
has authorized Mitchell Family Resource Center
to offer parenting classes that are perfect for any schedule:
take them any time 24/7 online.

In the past 30 years, three million parents have attended
Active Parenting classes and have testified to the improvement
these classes have made in their families. Taking a positive
approach, each class will make it fun to learn sensible skills
for raising responsible, confident children.

And now Active Parenting classes are available to
you through the Internet. That means you can take any or all
of these award-winning classes from your own home or anywhere
you have access to the Internet. There are five
classes to choose from:

Active Parenting, for parents of
children ages 5-12 (six sessions)

Active Parenting: FIrst Five Years, for parents of
children from birth to age 5 (four sessions)

Active Parenting of Teens (six sessions)

Crossroads of Parenting & Divorce
(one session)

Christian Active Parenting
(six sessions)

Each class is filled with video, activities, and discussion
via the online forum. You will even receive your own copy of
the Parent's Guide to refer to throughout your parenting years.
A certificate is available after successfully completing the
final quiz. The cost for a complete class, including book and
certificate, is just $79.95. In order to participate, you will
need to register through the Mitchell Family Resource Center web site: www.MitchellFRC.orrg/parenting

Like Active Parenting Publishers, we believe that parenting
is one of the most important jobs in the world, and we are excited
to be able to offer this unique opportunity.

Please let me know your impressions of the classes. Send your
feedback to me by calling 555-555-5555

I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
